How did Harrison Cave form?

Barbados is not a volcanic island

The formation starts here

Less than 1 million years ago

120,000 Years Ago

In the last 120,000 years

It's all about water...

2 stalagmites...the large one has be cut to show it's layers

The layers of minerals on the stalagmite

Wearing the required head gear to go into the cave

Down we go on the tram

Great stalactites

Many stalactites still forming today

The minerals forming a flowstone

Different types of speleothems

A spring flowing through the caves

See the drops on the stalactites?

Many new stalactites

Small vertical flowstone

Almost a column

Steam running through the caves

Spout of water flowing out

A cluster of stalactites and a cluster of stalagmites

Stalagmites almost looking like a group of people hanging out together

Sharp looking stalactites
